[TYPO3-mvc] capture and re-use controller/view output

[Loek Hilgersom]

Hi List,

I have a controller/view that creates a tasklist for the user that is 
currently logged in. Now I want to make a script that will send each 
user an email with their tasklist. To do that, I don't want to duplicate 
the logic for creating the tasklists. Preferrably, I would provide the 
controller with the id of the user and a modified view (for email, 
instead of screen display) and then capture the output of the view to 
send it by email.

My question is, how do I capture the output of a normal view in a 
variable (so I can send by email)? I know I can do this with stand-alone 
fluid, but this requires shuffling and possibly duplicating some of the 
already existing logic.

(To have all front-end functionality available, the script that creates 
the tasklist and email it can run as a front-end plugin, it doesn't 
necessarily need to run in cli-mode).

Cheers,
Loek
